Although most of the attention is on .NET Core, development continues on the original .NET Framework. Microsoft has recently released a preview of .NET Framework 4.7.2 with updates to ASP.NET, ADO.NET, WCF, WPF, and even Windows Forms. You can see the complete release notes on GitHub. 

A robust DevOps environment requires having continuous integration for every component of the system. But far too often, the database is omitted from the equation, leading to problems from fragile production releases and inefficient development practices to simply making it harder to onboard new programmers.

In this article, we discuss the unique aspects of databases, both relational and NoSQL, in a successful continuous integration environment.

With the new Version 7, Entity Framework is moving away from legacy systems and duplications which have accumulated in recent years. As a slim-line new development it will be available for .NET Core, and therefore also WinRT, whilst in addition allowing access to NoSQL databases.This session will show exactly what has changed and how you can benefit from the new possibilities. 

• WPF improvements for spell check, support for per-user custom dictionaries and improved touch performance 
• Enhanced support for Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) X509 certificates
• Added support in SQL Connectivity for AlwaysOn and Always Encrypted
• Profiling improvements related to IcorProfilerInfo interface and introduction of Ngen PDBs
• System.Transactions APIs now support distributed transactions with a non-MSDTC coordinator
• Many other performance, stability, and reliability related fixes in RyuJIT, GC, WPF and WCF.

Paket is a package manager for .NET and mono projects 

This is also our first release from the brand new .NET Community Toolkit repository, which will be the home of all our .NET libraries going forward. 

First it is important to recognize that the .NET Framework is not the same as .NET Core. The .NET Framework is effectively now in maintenance mode , and all innovation is occurring in the open source .NET Core now and into the future. So step one to remaining relevant is to understand .NET Core (and the closely related .NET Standard). 

Announcing the DotNetCompilerPlatform 1.0.2 release 

With a great pleasure and great relief OpenCV team finally announces OpenCV 3.0 gold release, the most functional and the fastest OpenCV ever. And yet it’s very stable too – all the thousands of tests that we created during the project + many new tests pass successfully on Windows, Linux and Mac, x64 and ARM.
